I REALLY ENJOY THE SUPERMAN CARTOON. I HAD THE DVD OF THE SUPERMAN CARTOONS. THE ANIMATION IS EXCELLENT AND SO IS THE STORYLINE.

ERASING OR BLOCKING WHAT ONE WRITES...
OK; THAT'S COOL... OLD ANIMATION ETC...
I WAS SEARCHING FOR OLD CINEMATIC MATINEE PRESENTATIONS... RADAR MEN AND THE LIKE... THE OLD CLIFF HANGERS.
ALL HELP APPRECIATED.

A good video to see the world as the US saw it (at least the kids of the 20th C)

This is actually more accurate than you might think. The "passing motorists" who found Kal El and his rocket were in fact the Kents. They did take him to an orphanage and later adopted him. The owners of the orphanage were happy to give him back because he was destroying the place with his super strength. Until the 50s the Kents were not dealt with very much. The Kents were later established to have died from a rare virus they were exposed to when Superboy took them on a holiday to a desert island. Clark blamed himself for their deaths, but later learned that he was not responsible. This is the history that was generally followed in the comics until 1985. The only variations of this history were the movies and TV series and the comics after 1985.
The only variance to occur before that was the establishment that the Superman from the 1930s comics, who fought in WWII, and the modern day Superman were two different people living on two different Earths in two different universes.
Very heavy science fiction type concepts. In 1985 they simplified all this and created a new modern history for Superman, after a while fans complained that this version strayed too far from the original concept and DC Comics have since then updated it yet again and, rather convolutedly eliminated the undesirable elements.
Anyway its like this. Before 1985 = Kents died when Clark was still Superboy. After 1985 = Kents remain alive to this day.

In the original comic book Superman is picked up by a good samaritan and taken to an orphanage. The radio show has him land on earth fully grown. By the 1940 DC comics had introduced Superboy, Smallville, Johnathan and Martha Kent, Lana Lang, and Krypto, Superboy's Super dog. This version of his history is the one most people of MY generation is familiar with.

But it's WAY more complicated than that as a visit to Wikipedia's Superboy article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superboy will tell you.

Not sure what a mad scientist with a pet vulture using a destructo-ray has to do with 9/11 but feel free to read anything you want to into these cartoons.

BTW contrary to popular opinion the Fleishers were far from bankrupted by these cartoons..Popeye and Betty Boop were paying the bills just fine. Any money lost on these just served a s a tax write-off.
Five stars for the quality of the movies.

Incidentally the voices of Clark Kent/Superman, Lois Lane, and Perry White are being provided by the same people who were doing the radio show.

In the very first comic story written about Superman, it's a good Samaritan. The following year (39) Ma and Pa Kent were introduced - and continued to be important in almost every version of the story. The main difference is whether Pa survives after Clark becomes an adult or not.

muy buen apelicula

Good old cartoons, they just don't play the good stuff like this anymore.
Great stuff!

When you watch this cartoon, you learn that Superman was found by a passing motorist after his spaceship landed on the earth and he was taken to an orphanage.

This is certainly a lot different than the contemporary tale where the baby Superman is taken into the home of Martha and Johnathan Kent.

Wow...how times have changed.

This is the first of a series of big-budget animated short films featuring the comic book haracter Superman. The animation is very well-detailed, and has lots of action. Surprizing how well this material holds up over the years (save for the anti-Japanese propaganda cartoons of WW2). Well worth a loook!
